    Jan could my RAF CO (S14219) be eligible for a leather strap? Ron

    This guy moved from Ferndown to Chandlers Ford and specializes in vintage/classic radiators. He did my Tilly Rad a couple of years back. Ron https://chandler-s-ford.cylex-uk.co.uk/company/m---m-fern-radiators-13825165.html

    Same contract as mine. Some artistic license as I added on the square tool box and I'm not sure the RAF bikes were fitted with panniers. But never say never and they are sooo handy. 👍 Ron

    Ah yes Rik I can see it now you've posted a picture. Ron

    Well done Wally as always. Ron

    Thanks for that Dave. Ron

    I'm not up on post war vehicles and I thought it was an Army unit? Even so, when I zoom in on that picture, the writing on the tax disc looks like it might just be a makers label like Raydiot or Stadium for instance. Someone above has quoted Defence of the realm with no other information? Ron Ron

    Power-Suspension-Lights-Brakes-road holding!!!....You big softie!! Ron

    PS this picture shows a tax disc holder fitted. I can't tell if it's a tax disc within or just the makers label? Ron
  13. Ron
    You are probably quite right about the above machine. But RAF vehicles during the war had a "Defence of the realm" tax disc and lots of TRW's were supplied to the RAF. Did they have civil registrations and tax discs too? Ron

    I can't work it out myself Chris. I clamped it in my vice for testing. But when I have taken mags to my guy for testing, he just stands them in a jig and spins them with an electric motor. Same difference to my mind. If it was up to me, I'd want a full internal examination and test. But at the moment it looks like I'll be fitting it back as it is. Hey Ho!
  15. Ron
    Don't know Chris? But the HT lead and or plug should spark against the mag body whether it's in or out the bike. It's baffling! The owner doesn't want to spend any money on the mag until we've tested it back on the bike. Can't argue with that. Ron
  16. Ron
    I tested that Chris by running my drill at a very low speed. Slower I'd say than a good swing with the plug out. I really don't get this scenario?? Ron
  17. Ron
    Well here's a thing! And it's happened before! I was not getting a glimmer of a spark from the mag. I even plucked up the courage to hold the plug lead end in my fingers and even with a good kick, not a tingle. Put the mag on the bench, wound it up with a drill and it's sparking perfectly. We can see the the mag and dynamo have recently been overhauled. This has happened to me twice before (Matchless G3 and Triumph 5SW) both with rebuilt mags. Even my long term mag guy couldn't give an explanation??? Ron
  18. Ron
    Yep we're going to whip the mag off today and take it to Shepton on Saturday for a refurb. The new owner has also commissioned me for a quick respray after he takes it apart. Ron
  19. Ron
    Now sold!! Ron
  20. Ron
    I recognize that bike Jeremy. Just needs a 2" brush and a tin of goose turd green by moonlight! Ron
  21. Ron
    Paul if it helps, this is an absolute genuine tank from a first contract WD/C. Ron
  22. Ron
    Well it's not urgent and I'm not desperate🙂 Just thought there might be a like minded person lookin in!! Cheers Ron
  23. Ron
    Very nice and if anyone is interested in an easy restoration, I have this one going spare. I've had it running and the engine sounds sweet but the mag is flagging. Matching frame and engine from contract C7890 (1940) and with it's original 1946 registration (which is quite apt actually) . PM me. Ron
  24. Ron
    PS and if anyone needs a correct Mansfield pillion for a 3HW. I have a spare fully refurbed example. £280. Ron
  25. Ron
    OK Chris thanks for letting us know. They became quite rare to the point that some good quality but expensive repros were made. Not sure if any of those are still available. My Triumphs have good originals so I'll pass on buying this one just as a spare, and leave it for someone who actually needs one. Cheers Ron
